<p>Folks, I have a (possible silly) question bumping in my head for a while. Suppose I would want to port <a href="https://github.com/dzhang314/MultiFloats.jl">MultiFloats.jl</a> (Nth precision floats; N in [2,8]) to Rust, would SIMD be interesting there?</p>

<p>I don't know Julia but from reading the readme I imagine that portable SIMD could be used to implement this</p>
